A new species, , is described and illustrated from Albania (Balkan Peninsula). It grows on serpentines or limestone in open rocky stands with a scattered distribution, mainly in mountain locations. Previously, the populations of this geophyte were attributed to Heldr. & Hausskn. ex Halácsy, described from a few localities of North and Central Greece. These two species indeed show close relationships, chiefly regarding some features of the spathe valves, inflorescence and floral parts. They also share the same diploid chromosome number 2 =16 and similar karyotype, while seed testa micro-sculptures and leaf anatomy reveal remarkable differences. There are also several morphological features that allow them to be differentiated at specific level. The inclusion of both species into a newly described section Pseudoscorodon of the subgen. Allium is proposed. An analytic key to the species, included in the new section, is also provided.
描述并图示了来自阿尔巴尼亚（巴尔干半岛）的一个新物种。它生长在开阔岩石地带的蛇纹岩或石灰岩上，分布零散，主要在山区。此前，这种地下植物的种群被归为Heldr. & Hausskn. ex Halácsy，该物种是根据希腊北部和中部的一些地点描述的。这两个物种确实显示出密切的关系，主要体现在佛焰苞瓣膜、花序和花部的一些特征上。它们还具有相同的二倍体染色体数2n = 16和相似的核型，而种子种皮微雕和叶片解剖结构显示出显著差异。也有几个形态特征使它们在种级水平上得以区分。建议将这两个物种归入新描述的葱属亚属假蝎尾葱组。还提供了新组中所包含物种的检索表。
